Long ago I was a crashplan user who utlilized their Peer-To-Peer offsite backup option to backup my entire system to my hard drive at their house, and vice versa. It worked awesome, and gave us both a true offsite backup solution that worked well.
But they discontinued it a few years back and I never found anything comparable.
Yes, I know there are convoluted manual options using Rsync and such, but none of those are an option when the person on the other end isn’t tech savvy, plus without any sort of encryption, well, I don’t want my friend just openly browsing my files, and honestly, I don’t want *their* files on my system unencrypted either.
So, is there any options out there that fit these wishlist items?
- A decent GUI so the non techsavvy crowd can have a hope of using it
- Mostly set it and forget it, like Backblaze? I don’t care if their computer is on only once a week or whatever, but when it IS turned on, I want it to wake up and backup ASAP automatically.
- Encryptes or at least obfuscate things somehow so all my files/photos/etc are not an open book on the remote HD, and vice versa.
Thanks all.
